It features an automatic MDI/MDI-X on the RJ-45 port that allows for direct connection to a workstation, switch or hub. Now, the network manager does not need to worry about the cable configuration (crossover or straight through) when establishing connection between RJ-45 ports. It features both an RJ-45 jack and an SFP slot which allows it to easily integrate a 1000BaseT network with a 1000BaseSX/LX fiber network. If the LFS DIP switch is set to ON, the Link Fault Signaling function is enabled. If the copper link is down, the fiber port will be disabled by the Converter. If the fiber port loses signal, the copper port will be disabled by the Converter. These two types of disabling actions will enable the spanning tree protocols of the neighboring switch to go into effect. The Media converter is specifically designed to offer fiber advantages for missioncritical networks like Telco/ISP backbones, cable operators, banking and enterprise networks. It can reduce network downtime and increase Quality of Service levels. 3 065-1096 10/100/1000BaseT/TX TO 1000BaseSX/LX GIGABIT SFP MEDIA CONVERTER 2.2 Product Illustrations Front Panel Fiber SFP Slot LEDs Ethernet Port Rear Panel Power LED DIP Switches Power Connector 2.3 DIP Switches DIP 1 DIP 2 DIP 3 DIP 4 Enables / disables Link Fault Signaling (LFS) N/A N/A N/A 4 065-1096 10/100/1000BaseT/TX TO 1000BaseSX/LX GIGABIT SFP MEDIA CONVERTER 3 LED Indicators This Device has LED indicators located at the front of the device.

To install your Media Converter, please see the following procedures: • • • • • • 4.1 Location 10/100/1000BaseT/TX port Gigabit SFP slot Link Fault Signaling Desktop installation Powering on unit Location The location selected for installing the Converter may greatly affect its performance. When selecting a site, we recommend considering the following rules: 1. Install the Converter in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating environments. 2. Install the Converter in a location free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. 3. Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the unit for ventilation. 4. Affix the provided rubber pads to the bottom of the Converter for grip, and to protect the case from scratching. 4.2 10/100/1000BaseT/TX Port (RJ-45) The auto MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation on the RJ-45 port alleviates the worry of cabling configuration when connecting the Converter with a 10/100/1000Base-T device. It accepts both ‘straight-through’ and ‘cross-over’ Ethernet cables without the need to re-configure the port. Whether connecting to a switch, LAN card, or other network device via the RJ-45 port, simply plug and go! 4.3 Gigabit SFP Slot To connect a fiber cable’s connector to the Converter’s SFP slot, slide the selected SFP module (mini-GBIC) into the SFP slot, making sure that the module’s receptors line up with the receptors at the back of the slot. Push until you hear a click. Once the module is inserted correctly, take the cable connector and turn it so that it will fit into the mouth of the module. Then push the connector into the mouth until its catches click into the receiving grooves in the module’s mouth. Use the appropriate type of multimode or single-mode fiber, depending on the SFP module being used. The fiber optics transmit data at up to 1000 Mbps and can maintain data integrity over cable distances as long as 60 km or more, depending on the selected SFP (mini-GBIC) module. Warning: Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the fiber port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into the open apertures. 6 065-1096 10/100/1000BaseT/TX TO 1000BaseSX/LX GIGABIT SFP MEDIA CONVERTER 4.4 Link Fault Signaling LFS is an important function that is extremely beneficial in terms of network status monitoring. The LFS function monitors both the copper and fiber segments to ensure that Spanning Tree Protocol responds the moment a link failure occurs on either segment. Set LFS to ON for normal operations. Set LFS to OFF when installing cables or when testing the network connection. Note: The LFS feature influences both fiber and copper segments. When disruption occurs on the copper segment, the fiber segment will be disabled. When the fiber segment loses signal, the copper segment will be disabled. To utilize the full benefits of LFS, four converters can be used to build a primary and a secondary path between two switches. The switches must support Spanning Tree or Fast Spanning Tree protocols. By default, transmission of data will travel via the primary path. If a link failure is detected, transmission will automatically be switched to the secondary path by Spanning Tree Protocol, delivering non-stop network connectivity. 4.5 Desktop Installation Follow the instructions listed below to install the Converter in a desktop location. 1. Locate the Converter in a clean, flat and safe position that has easy access to AC power. 2. Affix the four (4) self-adhesive rubber pads to the underside of the Converter. 3. Apply AC power to the Converter. (The green PWR LED on the rear panel should light). 4. Connect cables from the network partner devices to the ports on the front panel. (The green LNK LED on the front panel associated with the port should light). This converter can also be mounted on a vertical surface. Warning: Please exercise caution when using power tools. Also, install this unit away from damp or wet locations, or in close proximity to very hot surfaces. These types of environments can have a detrimental effect on the converter and cables. An ideal location is a lightly cooled place such as a typical equipment room. 4.6 Powering On the Unit The Converter uses an external power supply of 9~32V DC @ 0.5A – 50Hz to 60Hz. 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into its receptacle located at the back of the device. 2. Plug the power adapter into an available socket. 3. Check the rear-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to verify that the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly and securely plugged in. 7 065-1096 10/100/1000BaseT/TX TO 1000BaseSX/LX GIGABIT SFP MEDIA CONVERTER 5 Appendix: Application Diagrams 5.1 Application Diagram I In the figure below, the Converter is functioning as a high-speed bridge between switches, creating increased capacity for each user (node) on the local area network.
